At last, pictures of the up-dated Fireplace

So, I finally got around to posting some pictures of the fireplace I talked about in my last post. It truly is a transformation and shows even the ugliest fireplace can become the focal point of a room. Whether your style is traditional or modern, we can give you the fireplace of your dreams. Stay tuned, there are more fireplace makeovers to come!
The original fireplace. We had to beef up the hearth, tile over the brick and build out he mantle to accommodate the columns

Tiled, with all the wood trim added, awaiting the columns


The finished fireplace. Faux mahogany, with plaster capitals, gilded and antiqued.

  1. Hi Lesley, thank you so much for stopping by my blog today! I saw your website and I'm amazed by the beautiful ceilings you have decorated. So beautiful!

    And the fireplace; are you positive it's the same one in the before/after photo? haha! Truly an amazing makeover!
